Going Home is one of my favourite jazz albums; smooth and very relaxing music. It’ sonic purity and
lifelike sounding add more spice to listening and enjoyment
A jazz quartet, The L.A. Four is made up of the classic members of Ray Brown (bass), Shelly Manne (drums), Laurindo Almeida(guitar) and Bud Shank (alto saxophone, flute, alto flute)
recorded this stunning album in 1977.
This album employed the direct to disk recording method as briefly described below.
Direct to disk method is based on simple idea of skipping the tape entirely and recording directly into master disc and by eliminating the tape, a direct cut disc eliminates the possibilities of hiss, modulation noise and many limitation of tape. Thus it can provide recordings with total dynamic range which is audibly superior
It is not a new idea; it was used hundred years ago by Thomas Edison. Due to commercial constraints it is hardly used now(except by some die-hard audiophile label). It is costly because the program must be live and the record cutting lathe cannot be stop without ruining the entire recording.
Smooth jazz for great enjoyment.

I saw this LP in one of the room at the recent KLAV, if I can remember was in J.C.Verdier turntable with Dali speakers room, but paiseh to ask the dealer to play the record.
Where do you think I can get a copy of this record?
You may try at some hifi shops dealing in vinyl in town, or in flea market eg the famous Amcorp Mall. Alternative, can try a Ebay, but shipping charges could be prohibitive for one piece of LP.
